DEVICE FORSEC'URING WIRE FABRIC TO FRAMES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent LEO. 739,342, dated September'22, 1903.

Application filed October 27,1902. Serial No. 128.915. (N0 model.)

To ctZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SEYMOUR W. PERE- GRINE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Portland, in the county of Cumberland and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hand Devices for Securing Wire Fabric to Frames, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings. v

This invention relates to an improved device for securing wire fabric to frames; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts presently to be described, and defined in the claims.

'lheinve'ntion is designed more particularly for placing the edges of the fabric into grooves and afterward for forcing the retaining beadstrip into the groove ontothe inserted fabric.

The object of, the invention is to provide a convenient hand-tool for the purposesahove stated.

In the drawings the preferred form of tool is shown; but it is to be understood that the shape can be varied without departing fro the invention.

Figure l is a side view of the device. Fig. 2 is a view at right angles to that shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a View. showing the device in use.

p A designates a staff or handle, formed conveniently of wood, although other material can be used. This stafi is bent into an ogee shape, having parallel portions B offset from each .other or located on difierent planes and at opposite ends. In the ends of the staff are inserted the forked bearings G, in which are mounted wheels or disks D E. The Wheel D is formed with a flat or plain periphery,

4o while the wheelE has a grooved periphery.

In using the device the operator places one end on his shoulder, taking hold of the portion adjacent the opposite end and placing the wheel onto the screen material to be pressed into the groove, then presses the same down firmly until the edge of the screenis well seated into the groove. or other material is then placed in the groove over the inserted screen material. He then reverses the stalf, bringing the grooved wheel into position, and presses the head into the groove.

The grooved wheel embraces the upper surface of the bead, and by rolling the wheel back and forth over the head it isevenly and positively forced into the groove, locking the screen material in place.

- The reversibility of the device is an essential feature, as will be observed, in that a A head of wood single tool can be readily employed for making the attachment.

Having thus deseribedthe invention, what is claimed as new, and desired to be secured by Letters Patent, is r 1. A device for securing wire fabric -to frames consisting of an ogee staff, a wheel having a plain periphery secured to one end of the staff, and a grooved wheel secured to j the opposite end.

frames consisting of a staff, a wheel having SEYMOUR w. PEREGRINE.
